Arduino is an easy platform to learn digital making. However, many students, as well as teachers, find it difficult to get started and get familiar with Arduino. This could due to two reasons:
- Most of the students and teachers do not have knowledge in either electronics or coding or both;
- Most of the beginner’s guides and sample codes are developed by technically trained people.
This product is developed by a non-technical person and aims to solve the problem for beginners who want to learn Arduino and digital making for the first time. The learning material is intentionally designed to allow beginners to see the results (programming output) immediately, get excited then follow by a superficial explanation of how things work.
1. Copy the codes given blindly.
2. Upload the code to the board. See the result immediately, and get excited.
3. Codes are explained line by line using layman’s language.
4. Learn extra electronics knowledge and coding syntax if you want.
